Well Ontario’s been hit by some awful weather – ice is coating everything and many are without power still. I hope that you are keeping warm & dry otherwise!! Nothing like discovering what’s really important….the hard way.
It will be a bit quieter here on the site for a little while as I spend time with family and friends over the holiday season. I hope that you are able to do the same.
As always, I thank you for supporting this blog and my business, and I look forward to continuing to bring you ideas and inspiration to make your life a little more “crafty”.
Wishing you the very best!!

but these sales are so delightful….
Sorry…can you tell that I just finished our choir Christmas concert – and that it’s snowy here? We actually had to cancel one of the concerts due to the weather. Much to my son’s chagrin, the “snow day” did not occur on a school day, but on the weekend!
Here are this week’s deals – happy shopping! (My favourites this week – the Encore metallic pads. LOVE them for a quick hit of elegance and shimmer!)

Especially if you like to SAVE MONEY!!
Stampin’ Up! has a blitz going on at the Clearance Rack. You usually find good deals on discontinued products here (old packaging, hard to find colours…) well today they are loading a TON of stuff into the rack – and it’s all available only while supplies last. So – your best bet is to place your own online order and have it shipped directly to your door. If you live local to Burlington ON you can contact me and I can place your order for your and you can pick it up from me….but I can’t guarantee that everything on your list will still be available since I will be grouping orders together.
As well – it’s the weekly deals day! Tuesday ushers in a number of regular catalogue items on sale for one week only – here they are! (how can you go wrong with Stampin’ Write Markers?!) (by not getting them on sale?! LOL)
Dec 7, 2013 | 3D samples, cards, Christmas, Stampin' Up!
Have I mentioned how much I like the Stampin’ Up! Festive Flurry Ornament kit?! This card is a great way to present an ornament to someone special. The Winter Frost Designer Series Paper layer is actually popped up a bit at the top using some Stampin’ Dimensionals. After creating the ornament, the ribbon is tucked in behind that layer to anchor it in place. It makes a beautiful looking presentation, and then afterwards, the recipient can pull out the ornament and use it on their tree! This could be a great family project – and the kids can sign their names to the back of the ornament with the date as a keepsake.
The next photo shows the ornament separate from the card. We created this in the last of the Christmas Card Class Series….talk about going out with a bang! Just a reminder that January’s Monthly Card Class will be held the SECOND Wednesday of the month, since the first Wednesday is January 1st so people might still be recovering from all the festivities. OK. I might still be recovering from being forced to stay up past midnight. Whatever.
Anyway – check out my Events schedule or try one of my online classes! The next online class will be released early in the new year so stay tuned for the announcement.
Dec 5, 2013 | cards, Christmas, Tutorial, TV/Video/Web/Tech
Oops! I just realized that I hadn’t posted the video from my CHCH TV Morning Live appearance here! I did manage to get it onto the YamStamps Youtube channel….so I’m catching up now! I am always grateful when I’m invited back to be on the Morning Live show – the hosts and crew are fantastic to work with, and we always have fun on air. This past time, I shared some handmade Christmas card ideas – including a fun (and fairly simple to recreate) 3D card. If you have any questions, leave me a message in the comments area below, or contact me.
If you can’t see the video below, click on this link or go directly to the YamStamps youtube channel.
Dec 4, 2013 | specials, Stampin' Up!
This week’s set of one week specials! You can shop online from anywhere in Canada and have your items delivered to your door. All these items are great – I love how the fun flowers can be layered to create a multidimensional flower, or used on their own, and I consider a scallop circle as part of my essential punch kit.
Don’t forget that today starts the packaging ideas in the 12 Weeks of Christmas Mailings (be signed up for my list before 1pm to receive this week’s edition).
Dec 3, 2013 | MDS, TV/Video/Web/Tech
It’s December! Just a reminder that my monthly newsletter goes out today…and that tomorrow is Week 9 of the 12 Weeks of Christmas. Only 3 weeks to go?! Bags, tags and packaging will be the themes for the remaining weeks. (but only if you’re signed up for my newsletter!)
Don’t forget to get your FREE download – the monthly desktop calendar – December 2013 has a fun retro feel to it. This was the colour scheme for a lot of my holiday cards this year. I laughed during the weekend Stamp-a-Stack that it was the “Pastel” class as a majority of the cards had softer colours. I was sure to get one or two bolder colours in there, though!!
This Friday is the LAST Christmas Card Class – and there’s a couple of spots left if you’d like to make some special cards to mail or hand deliver. I’m also offering the Festive Flurry Ornament Kit/Class so you can make a few of those to add to a card, tree or gift!! Contact me to register ASAP.
